Exeter fail to make use of a late free-kick in an excellent position. Liverpool break with numbers through Benteke, but he is forced wide with players queuing up in the middle. That was really poor play.

Benteke looks desperate to register on the scoresheet tonight but his latest effort from 20 yards is well saved by Olejnik. The Exeter goalkeeper is then called into action again to collect Teixeira's deflected drive.

Almost a shot on goal for Exeter as Nicholls releases Wheeler and his cross towards Hoskins from the byline is cut out. Commendable spirit from the visitors but they have been thoroughly outclassed in every department tonight.

Just moments after a misguided dummy costs Exeter the chance to carve out a very rare opportunity, Liverpool break quickly though Benteke. The Belgian skips past two defenders before laying a low ball out towards Teixeira, who curls home after Wheeler fails to intercept.

What a superb block from Brown to deny Teixeira after the Portuguese midfielder was teed up nicely by Ibe. A miscue from Brannagan then inadvertently sets up Ojo, but his shot is saved by a diving Olejnik.

Another short corner from Liverpool as Brannagan finds Ibe, who bursts into the box and produces a strong shot that smacks off the underside off the crossbar before being cleared by Craig Woodman. Appeals that the ball did actually cross the line fall on deaf ears.
